Stormin 9,981 #1 Posted April 11, 2020 Been a nice sunny day here. SWMBO got the washing done this morning and hung out to dry. I'm pottering about in the garden and workshop. So what happens? Ignorant, thoughtless neighbours, who just happen to be eldest daughters in-laws, light a bonfire. At a guess not just burning garden rubbish, not at first anyway, as there was a strong smell of plastic. Smoke blowing over into our yard, across another neighbours garden, into my workshop and Carols studio. So washing was brought in. Around 4pm Carol went for a walk and spoke to Lisa's m-i-l on her return. Told her she could have let us know. She said the wind had changed, which was nothing but a down right lie, and kept saying sorry. All the while throwing MORE rubbish on the fire. Carol let her know she was angry and not happy about it. I was going to go round with a bucket of water, but Carol stopped me. Next time it happens as it will, I will, daughters inlaws or not. I'll also report them for antisocial behaviour. BTW Yesterday their daughter, who lives in a nearby town, visited with two of her children all afternoon. No social distancing and a great grandmother of 95 next door. Talk about a law unto themselves. Irresponsible idiots. Our daughters families follow the rules and stay away, except to leave something at the gate. Which has only happened twice. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #2 Posted April 11, 2020 Sadly but true, thoughtlessness isn‘t a sign of "youngsters" careless. I see today surprisingly a Bike Club (20 Persons),they meet several time on Weekends and drive together a Tour. But because we have a lockdown, that isn‘t allowed - Social distance is the actual state of situation. They're in Age between 20 - 60 Years and meet close to our property to start and to end the Tour. This are mostly allway‘s the same persons but i doubt that they all are family, but they all say goodby even now with Our street is actually nearly empty since the Corona lockdown is happen. Just a few idiots does not accept the lockdown, i feared they ain’t imagine what they do. Is it thoughtlessness or is it careless, i don‘t know. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,592 #3 Posted April 11, 2020 My neighbour chose yesterday to burn his plastic waste in a bin in the garden. Because recycling bins have not been emptied he decided to get rid of it that way. Stink was unbearable on a lovely day to be in the garden. Not sure who is stupidest, the dad for lighting it or the mother for hanging out washing while he burned rubbish. Complete arrogant A hole he is . But at least hes not related to me lol. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,028 #4 Posted April 11, 2020 I'm in the shop and can hear my loudmouth neighbor lady gabbing away. I look over and there are visitors over and they are passing around a 6 month old baby. So much for protecting infants from the virus. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,306 #5 Posted April 11, 2020 5 minutes ago, squonk said: passing around a 6 month old baby. Wow! With all the info we have today it’s shocking to hear that. I was elected to hit the grocery store today...there are new rules at the store as well as huge arrows on the floors and signs stating which way to walk (up or down) in the aisle so we are all going the same way and in theory don’t ever pass. I can’t believe how many people don’t get it and just roam all over the store like they used to. I witnessed an employee tell a woman that she was going the wrong way and she got all kinds of mad. Weird times for sure 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
